A moment of irrational exuberance, inspired by this Raw Story posting...
... discussing Obama's likely opportunity to appoint 2 or more SC justices in his first term.
US Supreme Court to test Obama's talents
AFP
Published: Thursday November 6, 2008

"The first thing to know about Obama, which hasn't gotten sufficient attention, is that he is himself appointable to the Supreme Court," Sunstein said.

"He is a constitutional specialist who has taught for many years. There's a guarantee that we'd get someone of the first intellectual rank."


2 successful terms in the White House, and an eventual nomination to the Supreme Court. (sigh)

Ok, back to reality...

3. Yes. But it all starts w/ the next 3 years.
These next 3 years need to be successful to get to a 2nd term.
